FAQs
-
What are multisamples and what can I do with them?
Multisamples involve sampling many notes from an instrument and mapping out these notes into MPC programs - the result is a very realistic recreation of the original instrument mapped out across the pads in your MPC. You can then create your own realistic loops, riffs and solos using only your MPC.
-
How easy is it to use multisamples in my MPC?
Very easy! Just load up a multisample program just like you would any other program. Now just bash the pads and create your own unique loops and solos! And if you prefer playing with a MIDI keyboard, no problem - just connect the keyboard MIDI out to the MPC MIDI in and play the keyboard keys - your realistic instrument sounds will be output from your MPC (we've even re-ordered all pads so they match standard chromatic order on keyboards).
-
Will legacy multisamples work in my MPC?
Our legacy multisample instruments are made exclusively for vintage 'legacy' MPC models, specifically: MPC5000, MPC1000/2500/500/JJOS, MPC2000XL. We'd recommend you max out your system RAM to get the best out of them. Please note that legacy multisamples are not suitable for modern MPCs - you should instead use the expansions found in our MPC Instrument Expansions category as these take full advantage of modern MPC features.
